If you’re reeling after hearing the Radonda Vaught verdict this week, you’re not alone. Mandy and HeHe discuss the verdict and give our own predictions for how this will affect healthcare in the future.
We ask, “did her incident report cause her to possibly go to jail?”
We also review the med error numbers in the U.S. and what’s the advice that’s being given to nurses right now about reporting errors. What are the reports for? How do the benefit patients?
Join us this week as we share our opinions and perspectives (we’re not sharing professional advice, medical advice, or legal advice on this episode or any on our podcast). We’d love to hear how you’re feeling and if your practice will change after this week’s trial. Reach out @pulsecheck.podcast or fill out the form here to be a guest!
